"The joyous Imo Pilots were excited and thanked the Governor for his goodwill."

Meanwhile, the Concerned Imo State Leaders (CISL) group on Tuesday, August 29, demanded the immediate resignation of Governor Okorocha for being allegedly incompetent.

The group said Okorocha has “clearly established leadership incompetence and serial blunder on the most elementary duties of governance”.

The Nation reports that the group has asked the House of Assembly to invoke the impeachment clause and unseat the governor immediately.

The group accused the Okorocha administration of conducting a reckless market demolition that led to the deaths of several people, including a 10-year-old boy, Somtochukwu Igboanusi.
